Getting Here

Sign Post

We don't provide travel as part of our package which means you have the opportunity to tailor make your journey to La Tania based on your own specific criteria.

Whether you love driving, enjoy flying or prefer a relaxing train journey the possibilities are endless.

Price is usually a major factor when deciding on your journey, many carriers acknowledge this and offer fantastic deals if you book early. We have compiled some information and a list of website links that you should find useful when researching and making your travel arrangements.

Driving
For those of you that enjoy driving or struggle to travel lightly we think this is a great way to get to La Tania, and if there are several of you sharing the costs it can be an economical option. You can decide what time you arrive in and depart from resort - this is perfect for those who find that six days up the mountain just isn’t enough, as if you arrived early on Saturday morning and departed late the following Saturday afternoon you could potentially squeeze in an extra 2 full days skiing! You also have the independence of your own vehicle once you get to resort - this is great if you want to visit another resort for the day (you get a free day in the Espace Killy or Paradiski when you buy a 6 day or more 3V pass). Parking directly outside the chalet is limited but there is ample free parking elsewhere in La Tania

Drive Alive! is a useful website for planning your route, it can also estimate your petrol consumption and details any motorway tolls you will encounter.

Accor Hotels offer a range of accommodation. Their properties are usually situated close to the motorway making them perfect for an overnight stop.

Don’t forget that there maybe a lot of snow in resort, and although the French authorities are very good at clearing the roads you should really carry a set of snow chains with you - the police may even stop you at the bottom of the mountain and insist you put them. Ski Drive is a website selling all sorts of useful accessories you might need to drive to the Alps including snow chains.
